Antonio Gibson Has Limited Role In Week 8

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson finished with just eight carries for 34 yards and added three receptions for 20 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Denver Broncos. Gibson's limited role was almost certainly due to the lingering shin injury he has been dealing with for the past few weeks. In what was […]

Week 8 Busts? Players Who Could Disappoint

Welcome back RotoBallers! As we head into Week 8 of the NFL season, we are approaching the time where bye weeks and injuries start to kick in, which can have your fantasy lineups looking less than ideal heading into Sunday. It's more critical than ever to make the right lineup decisions and start the right […]

Dak Prescott Listed As Questionable For Week 8

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) is officially questionable for Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings. Prescott injured his calf back in Week 6 against the New England Patriots and has been limited in practice this week. If he is to be held out on Sunday, fantasy managers will likely need to turn to Kirk […]

Austin Ekeler Held Out Of Practice On Friday

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hip) was held out of practice for the second consecutive day on Friday after he popped up on the injury report after the team's bye week. Ekeler's status is up in the air on Sunday against the New England Patriots, as it is not ideal to miss practice […]

Julio Jones Ruled Out In Week 8

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Jones has been dealing with this nagging injury since Week 4, and it will cause him to miss his third game of the season. The former Atlanta Falcon reaggravated his hamstring against the […]

Washington Defense - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Washington Football Team defense will remain an afterthought in Week 8 when it comes to starting options in fantasy. The defensive unit has a solid matchup with a struggling Denver offense, but they still shouldn't be trusted to produce solid fantasy numbers. The secondary has been burned time and time again, and the return […]

Chris Blewitt - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team kicker Chris Blewitt is a low-end option in Week 8 as he has not proven himself to be a viable starter just yet, missing one of his field goals in Week 7 and only making one extra point. The Washington offense has struggled to move the ball downfield in recent weeks, so […]

J.D. McKissic - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic has some flex appeal in Week 8 against a Denver Broncos defense that has struggled as of late. His usage as a pass-catching back is valuable in PPR formats, as he has been targeted 16 times in his past two games. With Antonio Gibson (shin) not 100% healthy, McKissic […]

Ricky Seals-Jones - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones will once again be in line for a big role in the short-handed Washington offense against the Denver Broncos in Week 8. Seals-Jones has seen 22 targets in his past three games, so his usage automatically vaults him into mid-range TE1 territory for as long as Logan Thomas […]

Adam Humphries - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries could have a significant role in Week 8 with Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) ruled out. Humphries saw just four targets last week and turned it into three catches for 36 yards, so any sort of bump in usage could set up the slot receiver for […]

Taylor Heinicke - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke has the look of a lower-end QB2 in Week 8 on the road against the Denver Broncos. The 28-year-old hasn't been overly impressive in the past couple of weeks as he has thrown for just two touchdowns in his past three games. His rushing upside heightens his floor, but […]

Terry McLaurin - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin should be pretty busy once again in Week 8, as Curtis Samuel (groin) and Dyami Brown (knee) will be inactive against the Denver Broncos. The third-year stud goes up against a secondary that has given up some big plays in the past couple of weeks, so the matchup […]

Antonio Gibson - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson has no injury designation and is good to go for a matchup with the struggling Denver Broncos defense. D'Ernest Johnson ran for 144 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against Denver, so Gibson could potentially be the focal point of the game plan to take advantage of […]

Rhamondre Stevenson's Status Uncertain In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was a healthy scratch in Week 7 against the New York Jets, paving the way for a big day from Damien Harris and two rushing touchdowns from J.J. Taylor. Running backs coach Ivan Fears was very unclear if Stevenson would be active in Week 8 against the Los […]

Duke Johnson Heading To Dolphins Practice Squad

The Miami Dolphins have signed free-agent running back Duke Johnson to their practice squad, according to Adam Schefter. This move comes after Malcolm Brown (quadriceps) was placed on Injured Reserve, so Miami gets some more depth to an already thin backfield. Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed will likely see a timeshare moving forward, so Johnson […]

Jalen Hurts Starting Job In Danger?

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is reportedly in danger of losing his starting job to Gardner Minshew, according to Bo Wulf. Wulf reported that he would be surprised if Minshew didn't start some games this season, considering the team has had their struggles offensively which has led to a 2-5 record. Surprisingly, Hurts has been […]

Cam Akers Could Return In The Playoffs

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (Achilles) could return if the Rams make the playoffs, according to head coach Sean McVay. At this point, the Rams seem like a lock to get into the postseason as they look like a top-3 team in the NFC. Still, McVay made no guarantees that the 2020 second-round […]

Wil Lutz Done For The Season

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz (groin) announced on Tuesday that he suffered a setback in his recovery and will shift his focus to being fully healthy for the 2022 season, meaning he will miss the remainder of the 2021 campaign. Brian Johnson made both of his field goals on Monday night in Seattle, one […]

Michael Gallup Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (calf) has been designated to return from Injured Reserve on Monday and will begin his 21-day window to be activated. Gallup will return to practice after being sidelined since Week 1, but there is currently no timetable for his return. Before exiting the Week 1 matchup with Tampa Bay, […]

Saquon Barkley Initially Hoped For Week 8 Return

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and the team staff were initially hoping for a Week 8 return to action following his ankle sprain in Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys. This is likely the reason the Giants opted to forego an IR stint for their stud ball-carrier, but according to reports it […]

Kadarius Toney Could Return In Week 8

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (ankle) could be available in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, depending on how much work he is able to get in practice this week, according to head coach Joe Judge. The team will be on the field from Thursday-Saturday in preparation for their Monday night […]

J.D. McKissic Outsnaps Antonio Gibson In Week 7

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic out-snapped Antonio Gibson 46-30 in Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Gibson has been dealing with a shin injury that has been limiting his production the past couple of weeks, so that is certainly playing a factor in the increased playing time for McKissic. Moving forward, Gibson's […]

Nick Chubb Returns To Practice

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (calf) returned to practice on Monday ahead of the team's Week 8 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Chubb has missed the past two games but seems to be on track to return this week after getting some work in on Monday. Upon his return to the lineup, Chubb will […]

Dyami Brown Scheduled For MRI On Monday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dyami Brown (knee) will have an MRI done on Monday, but the belief is the injury is minor as there are no major structural issues. Brown will likely be held out of the Week 8 matchup with the Denver Broncos and will then be reassessed after the team's BYE week, […]

Deshaun Watson Trade Talks Intensifying

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is drawing significant interest ahead of the NFL trade deadline, and the trade talks surrounding him are starting to intensify. The Miami Dolphins and Carolina Panthers seem like the two front-runners to acquire the star quarterback, and according to Mike Garafolo, Watson could potentially be eligible to play for his […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Will Miss Remainder Of 2021 Season

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle) will miss the remainder of the 2021 season, according to head coach Urban Meyer. Chark suffered a fractured ankle against the Cincinnati Bengals on the second play of the game in Week 4, so Trevor Lawrence will be without what looked like his top option in the […]

Washington Defense Allows 24 Points

The Washington Football Team defense gave up 24 points to quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on the way to a 24-10 loss on the road. With a fumble return and three sacks, the defense pulled out a decent game in terms of fantasy production. Moving forward, they still shouldn't be trusted as a […]

Chris Blewitt Makes One Field Goal

Washington Football Team kicker Chris Blewitt made one 45-yard field goal and one extra-point attempt in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Blewitt missed one of his field-goal attempts, so he didn't leave a great impression in his NFL debut, but the release of Dustin Hopkins was likely a sign he earned enough […]

J.D. McKissic Totals 56 Yards

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic finished with four carries for 22 yards and four receptions for 34 yards, totaling 56 yards while seeing limited action. McKissic has carved out a significant role in the passing game, so that alone should be an incentive for fantasy managers to stash him moving forward. Not to […]

Ricky Seals-Jones Catches Six Passes

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones caught six passes for 51 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Seals-Jones was efficient, as he caught six out of seven targets, with the only incompletion being a pass attempt into the end zone. As long as tight end Logan Thomas remains sidelined, the 26-year-old […]
